Quick and Easy Wardrobe Hacks

Published on by LeeLeave a comment

Fashion does not have to be complicated. If something does not fit or isn’t working in an outfit, look no further. Here are someΒ TikTokΒ hacks that are beneficial for when you are in a pinch, and styling an outfit doesn’t go as planned.

BAGGY PANTS HACK

First up, we have the baggy pants hack. This hack is to prevent pants from getting stepped on and can be used when the weather is badβ€”you don’t want to ruin your pants. All you need is an elastic band and you are all set. Just put the band over the top of the pants then fold it to shorten it.Β Β

G-String Thong Hack

Okay, this hack might not be for everyone but for the beauties that wanted to try this style without the discomfort, this is pretty genius. It is simple, just take a string around the button and tie a knot in the back. And button up your pants.. that is it.

PERFECTLY FITTED JEANS HACK

The next hack is how to tighten jeans to the perfect size. To do this, you will need a shoelace or some ribbon. This look can be done in two ways: you can make it so that the string is visible, which is simpler, or you can hide the string inside of the jeans. 

STYLE #1: VISIBLE STRING 

If your pants don’t fit your waist the way you desire, the invisible string hack has your back. You will lace the string through the back three jean loops and tie it. Then you’re good to go.Β

STYLE #2: HIDDEN STRING 

The second way to do this hack requires a bit more time. You will use scissors to cut a hole on the inside of either side of your jeans. This hole must be big enough to fit a string through. Next, you will grab your string and pull it through the hole until it is wrapped around the waist. Then, tie it and tuck it.

STYLE #3: Button Trick

This way is so brilliant that Jayda Wayda even tried the hack for herself…undo your pants and take the button and slip it through the nearest belt loop. This causes the waistband to pucker, making the jeans snugger. Then buttons your pants again β€” which makes your favorite jeans fit perfectly.

NICELY TUCKED SWEATER HACK

Have you ever tried to tuck in your sweaters or button-ups nicely, but all you get is a bulky look? This next hack is the perfect solution. This is a very simple, yet useful hack. First, you will pinch each side of the sweater and lift it to create a fold. You will repeat this one more time then tuck in the folded garment. There is no need for any bulkiness in your outfits.Β

FITTED DRES’S HACK

The last hack that I found got a dress to fit the body perfectly. This can be done with safety pins and string. Begin by turning the dress inside out and pinning both sides of the waist. Next, you will lace the string through both pins, tie it, then turn it right-side-out. After that, you will have a perfectly fitted dress.

Selena Gomez’s Pre-Flight Skincare Routine Is So Good I’m Stealing It

Published on by Lee1 Comment

Stars, they’re just like us.Β Selena GomezΒ woke up early last weekend for a 6 a.m. flight and took to TikTok to share her (extremely) early morning routine.Β 

Advertisements

Gomez walked us through the products she prioritizes before boarding, taking extra care to douse her face inΒ moisture. Remember, the air on planes can be extremely drying, so it’s extra important to take good care of your skin before and after a flightβ€”no matter how long the wheels-up-to-wheels-down time is.Β 

If you want to level up your next flight experience, we’ve compiled Gomez’s entireΒ travel routineΒ below. While we may not get the kind of luxe cabin experience that Gomez shared at the end of the TikTok, we can at least have glowing skin.Β

MARIO BADESCU SKINCARE Facial Spray With Aloe, Herbs, and Rosewater $7

Gomez starts by spritzing on this brightness-boosting spray to help wake herself up.

IS CLINICAL Cleansing Complex $45

Gomez follows with this cleanser, which is both gentle and resurfacing. It is genuinely the only cleanser you ever need in your routine. 

RARE BEAUTY Hydrating Under Eye Patches $25

While Gomez continues her skincare routine, she pops on these patches to de-puff, hydrate, and revive her under-eyesβ€”perfect for faking the look of a full night’s sleep.

DERMALOGICA Multi-Active Toner $43

Gomez follows up with this toner, which has aloe and moisture-binding sodium PCA to hydrate and soothe skin.Β 

Advertisements

THE INKEY LIST Reusable Cotton Pads $15

Reusable cotton pads are the best way to smooth on toner. 

DERMALOGICA Smart Response Serum $145

Next up, Gomez uses this serum that reacts to your skin’s needs thanks to four actives that respond when triggered. Since traveling can be so unpredictable, this is the perfect pre-travel necessity. 

DERMALOGICA Dynamic Skin Retinol Serum $92

We typically only reach for retinol at night, but when you know you’ll be sleeping (with blinds shut!) on a plane, it’s a smart way to multitask your skin care as long as you make sure your skin is moisturized too. This retinol is formulated with squalane and beta-glucan, which help ensure plenty of moisture. 

RARE BEAUTY Positive Light Under Eye Brightener $24

Gomez dots on this under-eye brightener for visibly brighter under-eyes in a pinch. 

RARE BEAUTY Always an Optimist 4-in-1 Prime & Set Mist $27

The finishing touch? This hydrating face mist seals everything in. 

Youthforia Blush Review: Clean and Fun Makeup

Published on by Lee2 Comments

Say what you want about TikTok, but it most certainly gets BeautyLeeBar credit for all of its beauty suggestions. Thanks to the app and our frequent 4 a.m. viewing, we have managed to be kept in the loop with some of beauty’s most viral products before they’ve sold out, including THE ICE FACIAL TOOL That Kourt and Kendall Love and now, the Youthforia BYO Blush.

Advertisements

The BYO Blush is the world’s first color-changing blush oil that is said to include all skin types and skin tones (you had me at inclusive). Its formulation reacts to the skin’s natural pH to give your cheeks a unique pop of color. It’s supposed to make your cheeks look naturally flushed and works with and without foundation. While it is a blush, it’s technically formulated as a makeup and skincare product, which is a double win. For context, the Founder; Lee has a dry-sensitive skin type which doesn’t cause her too many issues, however certain makeup products, whether powder, water, or oil-based can leave her skin with evident dry patches, or leave her skin break out instantly, particularly on her cheeks and forehead. But there wasn’t a day that she couldn’t go on TikTok to see this infamous blush so she decided it was time put the innovative $36 BYO Blush to the test to see whether it was as good as she hoped.

Youthforia truly created some next-generation blush technology, but does it work as great as it sounds? Keep reading to find out if this blush oil does create an ideal, lasting shade.

Lee has been using her BYO Blush religiously for almost a week now and each time she is blown away by just how glowy and glass-like her cheeks look. A little certainly goes a long way with the application, and the brand recommends you start by adding two dots to your cheeks, wait a few seconds for the color to change, and then blend it out with a brush, sponge, or your fingers. Lee oscillated between her blush brush and fingers, with the latter being her preferred way as the blush looked extra glowy, and it felt much easier to control the application. However, using a brush is great for applying when out and about and when you don’t feel like coating your fingertips in a product.

The TikTok-worthy packaging includes a vibrant coral cap and transparent bottle, which unveils the green-Ish oil formula (it applies as a sheer oil and then instantaneously reacts to the skin’s pH to unveil a universally flattering shade) and is a nod to Youthforia’s super fun and playful brand message β€” which is exactly what founder Fiona Co Chan envisioned when creating the brand. Youthforia is a post-Covid company, and Chan tells BeautyLeeBar that she wanted the customer experience to be filled with constant excitement and optimism for all the upcoming occasions customers plan to wear their blush, whether that’s a dinner with friends, or like Lee, a long-overdue mooch around Target.

In terms of the ingredients inside this little tube of joy, it contains 20 plant-based antioxidant-dense oils that provide targeted treatment for your cheeks, including jojoba oil and Macadamia seed oil. It’s also fragrance-free, silicone-free, vegan, and cruelty-free, making it a great option for anyone prone to sensitive skin. Each Youthforia product is certified by USDA BioPreferred Program to contain 98% biobased content (meaning there’s only 2% of fossil fuels within the formula) which has helped to reduce the brand’s carbon footprint, which is pretty impressive considering the brand is still fairly new.

The Value: Pricey but a unique, worthwhile find

Youthforia’s BYO Blush is out of this world, and it’s the most unique productβ€”it’s beneficial for the environment as well as your skin. At $36 for 0.22 oz., it’s a little pricey for a blush, but there’s nothing else like it on the market. A little goes a long way, so it will last you quite a while, plus the results are stunning, with a healthy, custom flush that complements any makeup or non-makeup look. The product is quite simple to blend, works wonders on Lee’s dry, sensitive skin, and heralds the beginning of something truly fresh in the makeup industry. BeautyLeeBar thinks it’s worth the investment, especially if you’re having trouble finding the right shade of blush for your skin tone.

Final Verdict

Overall, Youthforia’s BYO Blush is definitely worth the hype and is Lee’s new go-to blush (Rare Beauty, you still have our heart okay chica). The consistency and formula have impressed us far more than any other powder and liquid blush has before β€” and that’s coming from a beauties who loves to coat their cheeks in a liquid blush or two.

Youthforia’s BYO Blush Color Changing Blush Oil is the most unique and creative blush Lee has ever used. It goes on clear but quickly changes to pink on your cheeks. The texture is very smooth on the skin, and the unique technology provides the ideal natural glow appearance for your skin tone and gives your lips that natural rosy color. Youthforia’s BYO Blush works and builds beautifully. It doesn’t feel greasy, just hydrating and smooth. Oh, and the color lasts. Best lazy girl makeup product ever!

THE ICE FACIAL TOOLΒ That Kourt and Kendall Love

Published on by Lee1 Comment

Curious about the cute lil’ ice facial tool that popped up on both Kourt and Kendall’s IGS recently? We’ve got the intel (because of course we had to get our hands on one as well!).

Facial icing β€” and the wider concept of cryotherapy β€” have boomed in popularity this year. Cheap and easy, the cold temperatures work to constrict blood flow and define facial features, not to mention shake off signs of fatigue.

Advertisements

First off, we are big fans of ice facialsβ€”they can help reduceΒ puffiness, brighten our complexion, stimulate blood circulation, and lift skin. We’re into this type of tool because it is reusable, refillable, and foolproof to use. Kendall shared in her post that she loves using hers for her morning ice facials, but it can be used any time of day.

@contourcube

Thank you @Kendall Jenner for sharing your love for Contour Cube and everyone for your support of our small business #contourcube #iceonface

♬ Sunrise – Official Sound Studio

The Contour Cube is essentially just a tool that can be used like an ice block container but is designed in a way so that it works with the contours of the face. You simply fill it with water (or coconut water, if you’re feeling boujee) and move it along the face to refresh, tighten, and tone. It’s a viral TikTok product (!) that explains how it might have found its way into Jenner’s skincare routine.

Advertisements

To prep, it, simply fill it with filtered water and pop it in the freezer until it’s frozen solid. Take the top off and bada bing bada boom, it’s ready to glide across your face. The bottom cover stays on, acting as a grip so that the ice doesn’t slide out of your hands while you’re using it. When you’re done, put the top back on and stick it back in the freezer.

How to use the Contour CubeΒ 

After cleansing your face, run your Contour Cube under water to defrost slightly 

Apply to your face in upward circular motions moving the ice continuously in 30-second intervals for up to 1 to 2 minutes on each side of your face

For optimal results, follow your usual moisturizing routine 

Avoid contact with eyes and if you have sensitive skin, discontinue use if signs of irritation appear

But you’re not limited to just using water with this nifty tool, as you can see from Kourt’s post. Rose water, green tea, coconut milk, aloe vera, lemon water, and cucumber water can also be used instead of plain water.Β 

Kourt added cucumber slices for extra de-puffing action. Some other ideas:Β green teaΒ for anti-inflammatory benefits, coconut milk for hydration, or rosewater for a glow.

BENEFITS OF FACIAL ICING

Proponents of ice facials, or ‘skin icing,’ suggest that it can be used to: 

  • Eliminate puffiness, especially around the eyes
  • Reduce oiliness
  • Ease acne
  • Soothe sunburn
  • Reduce swelling and inflammation, including rashes and insect bites
  • Reduce signs of aging, such as wrinkles
  • reduce the appearance of pigmentation or dark under-eye circles
  •  tighten pores
  • Boost the skin’s healthy glow

Whilst you could technically just use an ice cube, if you’re into cold therapy, the Contour Cube is an easy, mess-free way to get the benefits.
